Catholic University Allegedly Violated Muslim Students' Rights

It is a private Catholic university, not a public university. Their mission, per their web site is:

As the national university of the Catholic Church in the United States, founded and sponsored by the bishops of the country with the approval of the Holy See, The Catholic University of America is committed to being a comprehensive Catholic and American institution of higher learning, faithful to the teachings of Jesus Christ as handed on by the Church. Dedicated to advancing the dialogue between faith and reason, The Catholic University of America seeks to discover and impart the truth through excellence in teaching and research, all in service to the Church, the nation and the world.

If you do not agree with that mission, then don't apply there. Ditto for Brigham Young, Notre Dame, Oral Roberts, etc.

This.

When I was applying for grad school, there were several good, well respected programs at religious universities. Yet, when I looked at the universities further, I knew that I could not comply with their rules/mission. I mean, one school stated they would kick you out if you were caught drinking. Even if you were of age and off campus. And you had to attend mandatory religion classes ( I am religious, but not this religion). That didn't sit well with me so I didn't apply. I found another university whose standards/rules I could live with. I am so tired of people thinking that everyone should bend over backwards just for them.
